I'd buy him for everything I've got in the bank then whore him out and make multi millions.
Kin fool proof idea.

How much would you pay for Ronaldo?
- Thread starter RedTillI'mDead
- Start date
79.9M pounds. Not a penny above that.
we'll buy him back for £40m in about 3 years
I might be in the minority here but I'd throw LvG under a bus to get Ronaldo back playing for us.
I'd quite happily pay £70 million for him.
Age doesn't matter with ronaldo, he looks after himself so well that he plays like a 20 year old still. He's rarely ever injured too so he has that positive. Hes still one of the fastest footballers around and obviously still has the skill.
£70 million to get 3 or 4 seasons and probably 25+ goals a season in that time is well worth it.
It'll never happen though.

£50million is a fair price considering his age and if Ronaldo put pressure on Madrid to sell him and he absolutely had to go right now and only to us. Madrid would want double that though ordinarily. I wouldn't argue if the club payed £60-65 anything above that and its just getting even more ridiculous then the extorniate price i have already suggested.
It would never happen as much as i dream it. I would rather spend the money on Bale next season. Will never be as good as Ronaldo but he's a United player in waiting in my opinion and we'll have to pay £100m to get him i would imagine.

upto £110m
We shouldn't buy slaves.
feck Ronaldo. We have Young.
The problem with Ronaldo is that it's really difficult to measure how much you give away as a team to enable him register those crazy numbers. In his time with Real, he scored a ridiculous amount of goals every season but his team has relatively underachieved while coming up short more than once against the best sides in Europe. In fact with the exception of the Bayern game, they were very disappointing regularly against the elite sides. I am not saying that he is the reason as that would be stretching but there is some truth to the theory that the team are sacrificing too much for him. I personally would leave such decisions to the footballing people but I wouldn't look at it as a straight case of "he scores 50 goals = we will win trophies with him".
Then he pays for himself even if he'd end up injured and/or not winning a thing.
absolutely. I might anyway if he says philosophy one more time.I'd pay £50 for Ronaldo thats my max.
At this point, and if he genuinely wanted to come back, then whatever it takes. Thirty years old but fit as a butchers dog and as tough as a nail. Guaranteed matchwinner that would give the whole club a fillip.
The rest would shit their pants on the spot.
Don't think it will happen though. Might have done if SAF was still in charge, particularly given the animosity between him and the Waiter.

If we could get three good years of around 30 league goals then anything upto 60 million seems reasonable from a football standpoint.
As for how much he would make commercially...I have no idea but that would play a factor

Would love to see this too.
I wouldn't buy him.
£50m
£2.80 and a packet of cheese and onion
Would certainly be interesting to know what Real would seriously be looking to get for him. He's in the top two players in the world, of which there is a huge gap down to 3rd place in those standings. He's big money commercially, he's in great shape. I'd not be surprised if they'd want 9 figures. Would I pay it? Well the club's been screwing enough money out of the fans for over a decade so yeah, sure I'd be happy whatever the fee.
About £40m. I doubt he'll be world class for more than 2-3 years from this point.
£60m, bag of hula hoops and a quick wank behind the shed of an official of madrids choosing. Wanker yet to be decided.
wut?! not sure if serious...
would you sell him for those prices then?
Well I have £50 in my wallet, but i'd want at least double that in return for transition tax.
£70m would be a fair amount considering his age.
I think that sums it up nicely.
The part of him scoring almost as many goals as our whole team, just goes to show how badly we need a goal scorer.
Over the last 2 years, we spent a huge (combined) fee on attackers: Di Maria, Herrera, Falcao (wages), Mata, Fellaini. And with these players (plus Rooney, RVP), we barely scored as many goals as Ronaldo on his own.
Given the above, are you saying that Ronaldo is not worth a huge fee?
As for the fee - lets summarise.
He is at the peak of his powers - reigning Ballon Dor.
He is super fit - he prides himself on his fitness.
He takes care of himself like very few - so be able to maintain his performance level.
He is robust - excellent injury record.
He is well-suited to playing in the EPL and wont need one season getting used to the EPL.
He is as close as you can get, to buying a guarantee, that we win the EPL.
If Bale is £85M, Di Maria £59, Ronaldo would be in the region of £100M.

If I were Manchester United I would use all the money I could find in all of my pockets, and borrow some more from a mate. You might find it distasteful, but at least you would have all the silverware you could carry.

Don't even...
Not really saying he isn't worth it, how can he not be with the numbers he gets? But there comes a point when you have to ask yourself is buying a 30/31 year old for 100m worth it for us? We'd surely win the league, but beyond that? Could he still take the piss like he does now at age 33? RvP was worth 24m for one season of brilliance without a doubt, but where do you draw the line? "Whatever it takes..." Well, 100m? 200m? 300m?
For me, i'd have to draw it around what we sold him for. And even then you'd have to ignore the excellent business done by Madrid in snaffling the 6 best years of his career and making a profit on him, in addition to Ronaldo himself giving his best years to another side. In general i'd love him back here, he's that good that you can ignore it.
Just give Benitez a black card into Wings. Ronaldo will be as good as ours.
£40m, £50m maximum. Giving Madrid their money back would be like one of the worst deal in the history of football. Let him go to them for his entire peak, keep him for 6 years then give them a refund. Why the feck would anyone ever think that's a good idea?
And no, he won't keep going for the next 27 year. By World Cup 2018 he will most likely not be one of the three best players in the world. Age has to take its toll eventually, regardless how much he looks after himself (that will make the difference between him turning from amazing to very good at 34 instead of 30-31, not going to keep him going forever).
It seems like last Summer made people go to the absolute extremes in terms of what this club could afford and what it should be spending. Spending £200m a year on players with no resale value is not the way to run a football club and will get us nowhere.

Anything.
£87654321 … make him the world's most expensive player again should keep him happy for a bit
Agreed
And as a Real Madrid fan you ought to know a lot about paying record fees for players and how it pans out in the long term. Even then you've had more success thanks to it than we're going to have for the simple reason that Real Madrid are able to attract better footballers because of their status and location.
Yes.
Whatever it takes.
59.7m (+5m for Ballon d'Or)
Today everything is based in money.As you well said United wouldn´t get any benefit. He would have 2 or 3 years to go later to MLS, with the transfer fee + wages would be around 160/180m €, maybe PSG can afford, they need someone to show that his project is serious but not United. I think that would be a nostalgic and sentimental transfer
I don't know what the math is, truly, when you look at the total influence of having the most popular footballer on the planet in your team. The opportunities for growth based on that are huge and I'm sure very hard to calculate.
If it's in the realm of something we can afford to do, then I say do it, the prestige and long term benefits are worth it, in addition to the on the field benefits.
